this is my first chunky knit project. it's for my cousin phoebe, who turns 21 tomorrow. she has been asking me to knit her something since i began four or so years ago so i thought this would be suitable.
the pattern is from susan chang on ravelry but i cast on more stitches (30) and knitted it much longer than specified (30 instead of 21 inches). i like how it's looser on the neck and can be worn in different ways.
i started with rowan big wool but it just felt too scratchy for around the neck
so i switched to debbie bliss como (cashmere as well as merino) and used bamboo needles.
i have bought a lot of lahloo tea for friends recently. i think it's a lovely present idea.
last weekend i finally got around to buying myself some from arch house deli in clifton village. together with a beautiful teapot. i've been looking for a pot to go with my rachel barker mugs for ages so am thrilled they look so good together :)
